Piyush Goyal Criticizes Developed Nations Over Climate Finance and Emissions at Berlin Dialogue
At the Berlin Global Dialogue, India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal criticized developed nations, especially Europe, for failing to fulfill their $100 billion annual climate finance pledge to the Global South. He highlighted that developed countries bear historical responsibility for most carbon emissions, while India contributes less than 3% despite representing 17% of the global population. Goyal emphasized India's rapid clean energy expansion and argued that developing nations should not be penalized for historical emissions. He also questioned the European Union's carbon border tax and called for equitable climate action and support.
